Tumorigenic cell lines were supplemented with 10% FCS. 1% penicillin/streptomycin mixture (Pen/Strep, 10,000 IU/ml; Sigma-Aldrich) was added in each cell culture medium to avoid a possible fungal/microbial contamination. Standard conditions were used for cell culture—37°C and humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2, as previously described before [34 (link), 35 (link)].

Human-derived neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA) were given DMEM-F12 medium (ATCC) (with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and penicillin-streptomycin added) and cultured in a temperature-controlled CO2 incubator at 37°C. In assays treating SH-SY5Y cells with LPS or TNFα, overnight serum starvation was followed by exposure either with LPS (20 μg/ml) or TNFα (20 ng/ml) or LPS plus celastrol (100 nM) in DMEM-F12 (with 0.5% FBS and no antibiotics added). SH-SY5Y cells were subjected to pretreatment with celastrol (100 nM) for 5 h before LPS treatment. After 48 h of LPS or TNFα or LPS plus celastrol treatment, 14C-AA uptake was performed in vitro [33 (link), 34 (link)]. Briefly, SH-SY5Y cells were incubated (30 min) with 14C-AA (0.1 μCi) in Krebs-Ringer (KR) buffer at 37°C in a water bath, and then, sample lysates were prepared for radioactivity determination using a liquid scintillation counter [33 (link), 34 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
